I desperately need more botany/gardening/solarpunk/foraging posts that aren’t so fucking American-centric
“European plants are invasive” okay, in America— but which ones are invasive HERE, like are Spanish species invasive to England? Are French plants invasive to England??

WAIT Elle has box braids in s3??? I could cry
I don't think she had bad hair in s1 or s2, but I'm excited that they're actually giving the Black girls Black hairstyles instead of having them wear it out.
Before, it felt like the (all-white, for context) hair department was just ignorant about Black hair, so they put wigs on the Black actresses and only did styles that also work on nonblack hair for their own sake/convenience. This theory was especially supported by the fact that Tara, whose 4c hair couldn't really be styled the same as nonblack hair, wore a twistout that would take literal hours to do every day, but she had box braids in s2! and Elle has box braids now!! I'm so excited!!!
I also feel like this fits her bold, fashion-loving personality so much better than leaving her hair out. Our hair is basically its own accessory, and the long box braids are very feminine. Again, I'm not saying not having a protective style isn't feminine or fashionable (I myself am a fashion girlie with an Afro), but having one is another outlet for her creativity, and I'm glad they're recognizing that now.

Woodland Kent Bluebells by Adam Swaine
Via Flickr:
The bluebell spends most of the year as bulb underground in ancient woodland, only emerging to flower and leaf from April onwards. This early flowering allows it to make the most of the sunlight that is still able to make it to the forest floor habitat, before the canopy becomes too dense.

Oh, the summertime is coming
And the trees are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Will you go, lassie, go?
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will you go, lassie, go?
--"Wild Mountain Thyme" (Scottish/Irish Folk Song)

Dactylorhiza fuchsii var. albiflora? 1 of 5 by Will Atkins
Via Flickr:
I'd be very grateful for any help with the ID of this orchid found in Yorkshire in a traditional wildflower meadow, on its own. Other orchid species nearby include early purple, green-winged, burnt and northern marsh. Characteristics of this one include: unspotted elongated leaves running all the way up the stem, white flowers with no markings at all, lip of flower deeply notched, trilobate, hood of flower like a 'cowl', height approx 20-25cm. Looks like a mash-up of several species to my inexpert eye!!
